SCORES OF MAD DOGS

Create CONSERVATION In Georgia - Many
Persons Bitten.
ATLANTA, GA, March l5.-During the
past two weeks there has been widespread
Consideration in this section over the prev
alence of rabies.
There is scarcely a community which
has not been visited by mad dogs.
In Banks, Hancock, Troupe, Elbert, For
syth and other counties parties of men,
armed with shOtguns, are disposing OF I'M
KnOwn dogs at sight.
A pitiable death has Just taken place in
Homer, in which the victim was the ten
year-old son of Mr.. Lockhart. The boys
sulterngs were eXcruciating. lie was I'M
conscious much OF the time, with his head
and spinal column drawn bach. At the
mere mention of water he would shuddeT
and 20 into violent Spasms. His death Oh
Saturday night is described by DR.. ThOmp-
son as being beyond portrayal.
Great excitement also exists in Troupe
county ever the ravages of a rabid animal
there. A dog belonging to DIR. Roberts
left home and was absent several days.
Upon returning last Friday he was mad.
A gentleman, Mr.. Borders, 80 years of
age, was bitten, and is now in commissions.
Passing on the animal bit five woven and
children, besides about one hundred head
of stock. The fact that so many persons
were bitten has created the most painful
alarm, and madstones have hcen sent for
in all directions.
la several other sections similar alarm
exists. Near Sparta Mrs. Wash Wynn
was terribly lacerated by mad dog. In
Cherokee county there are not less than
fifty mad dogs at large. The three chill
dren of Mr.. Elrcd were bitten.
4 strange disease also seem to affect the
cattle. In Canton COW, while grazing,
suddenly broke of and ran all over town,
clearing the streets and knocking down
fences, it then ran into the woods and died
IN great agony. Other cattle have been at-
flicted TINS suddenly with similar results.
This great aiiliction of dumb beasts creates
much speculation as to the cause.

Big Wheat Failure.

CHICAGO, March l5.-C. T. Howe, a
Board of Trade Commission firm, suspend
ed Just before the close of Change to-day,
and ordered their trade closed out for their
account. The firm were caught in the
down turn in wheat during the semi
panicky market, and Just before o'clock
were forced to the wall. Mr.. Howe would
give no estimate of his liabilities before
his affairs had been laid before his cred
itors, but said that his open trades on both
sides of the market amounted TO about
1900, 900 bushels of wheat. Before the
close of Change and after the trades were
ordered closed, wheat fluCtuated between
7s5as0Ic, and . correct estimate of his liza
bilities is out of the question.

ST. LOUIS, March 15.-It is semi-ofli-
cially stated that the original Western OBJ
iective point of the st. Louis, Kansas City
and Colorado Railroad, which was Kansas
City, will be abandonedand the line turned
in a southwestern direction from Versailles,
Morgan county, Mo, and extended to con-
meet with the AtchisOn, Gulf Colorado
and Santa Fe road at or south OF Arkansas
City.
in time the road will no doubt be ex-
tended from Versailles to Kansas City, but
the policy of the Atchisan Company seems
to be 10 connect the Gulf road was st.
Louis first, so that it can compete at once
with the Missouri Pacific for the Texas
trade.

Gould, Dunn and Their Associates Ex-
PEELED and Two Charters AnnuIled.
NEW YORK, March I5.-The three com-
missioners appointed by the State Grand
Lodge Of MasOns to investigate the char
acter Of members of the order who were
instrumental in introducing into the order
Tom Could, the dive keeper, and Jere
Dunn, the gambler, and slayer of Jimmy
Elliott, have completed their work by ex-
pelling the last of the nine men.
Gould and Dunn were admitted into
Prudence Lodge, No. 632, of this city near
ly year ago, and they found there many
other men who had no reason to feel grieyed
at their admission. BuncO steerers and
confidence men, it is alleged, had gained
admission TO the lOdge-nOt one or two of
them, but formidable minority.
1t was the ambition of Gould and Dunn
that brought them and seven of their
friends 70 grief. They rushed through the
degrees OF Prudence Lodge, and then went
a step higher and were admitted to Pales-
tine Chapter, Royal Arch Masons. This
was in June last, and only after the names
of the men had been favorably reported
upon by committee. Even then there
was no scandal, but both Gould and Dunn
wanted 10 90 higher still, and about
month later they applied for admission in
to IvaulsSs CUWa4asaeEy. Here they were
blackballed and the scandal began. Many
men threatened to leave the order.
VIM. A. Whiting carried the news to
Lawyer L. p. Wilder, Master of Citizens
Lodge, and he wrote statement of the
matter TO Grand Master Frank K. Law
renee, Mr.. Wilder was requested to inves-
tigate, but he was about going to Colo
RADIO for his health, and so the work was
turned over to Mr.. Whiting and Edward
DOdd. When their report was handed in
the Grand Lodge suspended both Prudence
Lodge and Palestine Chapter, and took
their charters from them, thus preventing
them from holding any more meetings.
Besides Dunn and Gould, Hugh Denim,
the Master of Prudence Lodge, is expelled
for letting them in, and these Others fj
being worthy associates of the first two;
II. w. Raymond, Wm. O'Brien, &. Tib-
belts, Jack Conway, II. Michin and II. W.
Withrow. Conway was High Priest Of
Palestine Chapter, and was charged with
having known the characters of both Gould
and Dunn when they were accepted as
members.
The investigation continued nearly six
weeks, the commission sitting six nights a
week. The Grand Ledge will meet in this
city ON the first Tuesday in June, when
the question of restoring the charters to
Prudence Lodge and Palestine Chapter
will be discussed

Goes To Jail.
CHICAGO, March 15.-The Inter Ocean
says that one OF the heaviest defalcations
that has occurred in this city for some time,
has just been brought to light.
The Chicago manager Of the Ansonia
Clock Company, of New York, John F.
Gledhill, defaulted to the tune Of from
$4,000 to $1,000, and ahsconded to
Canada. The bookkeeper of the Chicago
branch, VIM. Watson, deiaulted for s., 500,
and has been arrested and placed under
81, 900 bonds TO appear for trial.
A. A. COwles, Vice President of the As
sonia Clock Company, and J. Switzer, ar
rived in this city last week and have since
been quietly at work on the case. 'ihe
manner of the discovery of this rather
heavy def,lcation is told by Mr.. Cowles as
follows:
AT the beginning of this year We deter
mined 10 curtail the expenses OF our Chi
cago branch, and to that end we ordered
our Chicago book-keeper, VIM. Watson, to
bring all the books and accounts to New
York. He came, and with the books he
brought a clean balance sheet. We settled
up with him and discharged him. He re-
turned to Chicago and went into business
for himself.
I'm looking over the books afterward we
found false entries, and put experts at
work to make thorough investigation.
We found that the amount exceeded
S., 900, and last Tuesday Mr.. SwitZer and
myself came to Chicago arrested and held
to the Criminal Court in $1,000 bonds
We did not go near the Chicago branch,
because we were not looking after that
tiOn OF the business We had no suspicion
that there was anything wrong with Gled-
hill. but il seems he was on the lookout,
and last Friday he departed for CanadL TO
Join the grand army of absconders.'
How much did he embezzle?"
"Well, as to that cannot say, but so
far as we have been able 10 ascertain ii
would not exceed $3l 900. Gledhill was
only clerk, hut we allowed him TO sign
himself rs agent. He was in our employ
in New York rs manager Of retail store for
three years, and we sent him out here to
take charge OF our Chicago store, when II
was established six years ago. He had no
interest in the business, and was not q
stakeholder in the company
Mrs. Glenhill said 10 q reporter that her
husband had not been home since Friday,
and she did not know when he would r.-
turn. She admitted that he had lett the
city, and did not deny that he had gone
to Canada. Glenhill is but 81 years Of
AGE

private capacity and not as an officer of the

UYIONTOwN, WETZEL Co, March a.
Some of our citizens believe that the pro-
hibition amendment passed by the Legisla.
ture will not prohibit the traffic in whlskey
in this State: that il will he sold hy drug
qists: that we will have more drug stores
than we need that it will he shipped into
the State and sold, and that thousands OF
dollars will 20 out Of the State annually
for whiskey, and nearly "A much Will be
consumed with prohibition as without IL,
and besides we will receive no license
money on it. T. 7. HOrner, one OF the
Commissioners Of the County Court, thinks
that the prohibition amendment will do
little towards lettering the temperance
cause. We are in favor Of each district
having n treasurer, and We are not alone
in this opinion: If the Legislature should
pass bill OF this kind, We are OF the opin-
ion the people would sustain them at
the polls-it would carry by q large
majority. In the Governors call for al
extra session of the Legislature, he says:
'ISeventh-To prohibit the use Of money
and all other improper, fraudulent ana
corrupt means 10 secure nominations by
political parties or election 10 public
Office" We hope the members Of the e.
islature will not turn 4 deaf ear To TINS.
If the offices have to be bought, why Hot
auction them of at once TO the highest
bidder Il would be more honorable. We
have laid away for future use the pub
lished list Of anti-caucus Demoerata They
